The Gathering

The Gathering in Gilman, IL is, as their proclamation declares, a place that provides Unique Wares for Home and Garden. They are locally owned by three business partners (Kim, Lisa, and Cathy) who are dedicated to “gathering” the finest wares, authentic antiques, and the best and truest reproductions in the decorating market most of which are made by hand in the USA and by local craftsman and artists. Its a shop that maintains a warm, friendly, family atmosphere while giving you a look (and shopping opportunity) into the past as well as items of interest fashioned for today’s decor. You will find a boutique of vintage style clothing and jewelry, a room that features French Country Style furniture, florals, and wall decor, beautiful restored antiques spotted throughout the store, and all is accompanied by their signature candles, lanterns, florals, and finely woven goods. Right next door, and accessible through the lovely french doors in the shop, is the Front Porch Cafe and Sweet Shoppe where you will find their unique blend of finely ground house coffees, fudges made fresh daily with milk and real butter and real cream in a rainbow of flavors, delicious home made brownies, Lattes, chai teas, iced teas, and smoolthies along with complete meals. Its the perfect compliment to a fun and exciting shopping adventure.
